Workation in Galle: the essentials
Inside the ramparts of Galle Fort, begun by the Portuguese and heavily fortified by the Dutch from 1649, the streets hold old villas, churches, the National Maritime Museum and a steady supply of cafés. The fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest remaining fortress in Asia built by European occupiers. Outside the walls Galle is the working capital of the Southern Province, with its natural harbour, bus station and markets, and that is where everyday errands happen. Tour groups fill the fort in high season from November to April. Bandaranaike International Airport is about 130 km away, and trains follow the coast to Colombo.
